Your welcome anytime Aaron!! Found a cracked guide in my head tonight. Time to build a new head/core. :-(

santa · 06-05-2011

Well, since my last update lost has changed. I started working part time at map in the morning before my normal job. Most of the parts will be here this week to finish up the build. 2150's Ksport coilovers, V3 update from link, plus some little stuff. I spent all weekend working on all the little stuff on the car. heres a few pictures of the progress thus far.

I spoke with Sean at Magnus Thursday last week and my v3 cast intake manifold should ship this week!! I'm planning on having it together for some test runs for proving grounds!! Lots of work left!!

Sweet. You need to go on craigslist and buy a mexican to mow your lawn or something, that's out of control.

Well, the car is getting closer to running!! Spent the last two weekends doing the grunt work. This past weekend I installed the kiggly front clutch pack (3rd gear), welded the center diff, checked the oil pump on the trans, assembled my shortblock with a few new pieces in it to handle the higher rpm (kiggly main girdle). Depending on a few things this week it might be running in a few weeks. I don't think I'm making it to proving grounds with it this year

Its the same motor as last year, I just took it apart to O-ring the deck surface!!

Sweetness man!

Thanks dude!! The new head should be done this weekend. It doesn't look lime this car will make it's first appearance at the track until after proving grounds. Found 2 bent intake valves. Theagnus V3 wont ship until tomorrow or friday, and my coilovers wont ship till monday. Looks like a few more weeks until its ready! No need to rush it!!

Nice manifold! Wish I had mine. How far away is it from running, besides getting the trans in it?

Waiting on A bud to finish up the head. So, right now the short block is waiting on the engine stand begging for the head

. The chassis is close to ready.

Any word on when your getting yours, Mark? Also be prepared for a customs fee, as a cod possibly when you get it.

Suspension is in, brakes are swapped. Sanded all the surface rust off the rotors. taped off the engine bay. Sanded all the tube work on the front end, and primed it. Waiting for the paint matching the car to show up to paint the front end. New head is finished and assembled. Wheels swapped. Lots more to do this weekend but, hoping to have the engine in and wired up by the end of the weekend.
